Sweet and Tangy Corn


Still remember those childhood days and the beach... enjoying the grilled corn that we buy from street vendors..salty, spicy and with a bit lemon juice rubbed on the corn. Corn recipes are often very tempting and hot corn-on- the-cob is an essential for any summer time party. This recipe I have tried with frozen corn kernels and is a good accompaniment with chapatis or flat bread. I also tried it as part of a chicken avocado tortilla wrap.

 Ingredients

Corn Kernels - 1 cup

Tomato- 3 medium


Tomato puree- 1/2 cup

Sliced bell pepper- 1/2 cup


Onion- 1/2 cup

Chilly powder or paprika- 1/3 tsp

Pepper powder- 1/3 tsp

Fenugreek- 1/3 tsp

sugar- 1 tsp


salt to taste

oil- 1 1/2 tsp

butter- 1/2 tsp

coriander leaves for garnish




Microwave corn in high for three minutes. Saute bell pepper for a minute and keep aside.
In the same pan saute onions till translucent and add in the diced tomatoes, salt and cook them till it is soft. Add in tomato puree or you can add tomato paste ( 2 tsp) if you prefer. Saute this till the mixture is cooked and starts leaving the pan. Add chilly powder, pepper powder and fenugreek, sugar and corn kernels and blend it gently with the tomato mixture. Finally add butter. Serve it with the sauted bell pepper.

Hope you will all enjoy!!!

Thalashery Chicken Biryani

Chicken Biryani is very important for festive occasions in Kerala. Different styles like Kozhikodan Biryani, Malabar Biryani, Thalashery style, Kayees Biryani famous in Central Kerala especially Cochin....the list goes on and on..... This recipe I had noted in my recipe book some time back  from a TV show. Talasherry Biryani ingredients are not much different from the usual Kerala styles,but the preparation and taste is definitely unique. In the ingredients you will find a total absence of curd and chilly powder. The rice I has used is long grain basmathi rice, as I did not have the smaller variety which is actually used in this biryani. Give this recipe a try..you will surely feel the difference. Ingredients For the Rice Basmathi Rice- 3 cups Salt to taste Cloves- 5 Cinnamon 1 inch tick Cardamon- 3 Ghee- 1 tsp Rose water- 2 tsp Water- 6 cups For the masala Chicken- 2 lb Onions thinly sliced- 6-7 medium Tomatoes- 4 medium Ginger - 2 inch thick peice Garlic- 1...

Berry Cake

This is a berry cake which I made a few days back. Here I used white cake recipe but dashed in a few black berries and strawberries. This cake complements any type of filling or frosting but I have just dusted it with powdered sugar to make it an accompaniment with coffee and my family really enjoyed this cake . I used self rising flour but you can use all purpose flour instead by adding in one third tsp of salt and one and one half tsp of baking powder to each cup of plain flour. Ingredients Self Raising flour- 2 cups Egg white- 3 eggs ( half Cup) Butter - one stick ( 4 ounce) Sugar- 1 cup  Confectionery sugar- 1/3 cup Milk- 1/2 cup  Vanilla essence- 2 tsp Black berries- 1 pint Strawberries - 1/2cup Preheat oven to 350 F.

Set aside.  Beat egg whites and vanilla extra...
